Research and Planning

• In today's lesson the three of us started our research by listening to album tracks and looking into them on YouTube and the internet.  
• When we knew we were going to research in this lesson, we thought of some general ideas and one main one was that we would use a female artist/group for our song choice, this is because our group consists of three girls and we felt that this would suit us more. 
• In this lesson we looked at a variety of songs and considered factors such as lip-syncing and also about the origin of the singer. For example when looking at Rihanna's album we thought that a lot of her music consists of rap and would be difficult for us to learn. Also because she is American we thought it would be hard to match the music with the mise-en-scene we would have in our video- which would be British, so this is one that we decided against.
•  Our favourites at the moment are Ellie Goulding, Kate Nash and Lily Allen.
